Becca Mexico Trip



Mexico


On October 8th Becca went Mexico with Grant and his Family. They had a great time.
Grants mom and dad, two brothers and one of his sister and her family went to stay for fall break. They mostly worked on the house, but the kids did get in some shopping and becca learned to ride the quads. They played in the sand some and enjoyed the water. Becca said they ate tortallas every meal. she did not want any mexican food when she came home. I have added some pictures of grants family. It was so nice of them to invite becca to go to mexico with them for fall break. It was hard for me to not talk to her for 5 days. But I knew she would be ok. Becca came home with 2 new purses. does this surprise anyone?

Making the doughnuts

Jessica making doughnuts !
Jessica and I were at the store and saw some doughnuts. They looked so good but for a little box of doughnut holes it was $3.99. Wow, that is a lot for such a few doughnuts. So I said why dont we make some? So we got out the cookbook and looked up doughnuts and we started making them. We made the standard doughnut and holes for a while then jessica got the idea to get the cookie cutters out for halloween and we did owls and bat shapes. It worked great, and they tasted even better. we put sugar and cinnamon on them. It was so much fun doing a project with jessica.
